Jersey City Heights

Jersey City Heights, also known as The Heights, is a district in the north end of Jersey City, New Jersey, located atop The Palisades. The Heights was settled by the Dutch, and it was originally a separate city from Jersey City, known as Hudson City, incorporated in 1855. In 1873, Hudson City merged into Jersey City, and the Heights became home to two- and three-family houses and low-rise apartment buildings.
